For Serving Tikki with Ragada:

Prepare tamarind chutney and mint chutney. I have posted chutnies recipes also in bhel puri recipe under Chaats Section.

Take the serving plate, put two cutlets in the plate.

Pour the ragada on the tikki.

Sprinkle chopped onions and coriander leaves.

Sprinkle a pinch of chat masala powder and serve hot.

Notes: Chickpeas are rich in proteins, this is low in saturated fat and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein and Copper. And it's favorite street food of many from kids to dadi's from south to North. Nothing beats home made right, and can be enjoyed without fear as it is not safe to take outside food specially in this season. So, we can keep our kids happy by making this at home.

Today i am posting a very authentic recipe, can be taken as a snack or breakfast Item. It's a very easy recipe. This tastes too delicious. If you fed up with routine food, undoubtedly we can try this, at any time, as it requires simple ingredients, which will be available at every home.

Take a wide opened bowl, add above all ingredients except oil and slowly add sufficient water and knead a soft dough(Softer than chapathi)(If dough is hard then we will get harder rotis.). Divide tis dough into 4 lemon sized balls.

Take an iron pan or nonstick pan, grease it with oil, place one ball made with dough on the pan, press it gently to roll into a thin circular shaped roti, spread through out the pan, it should be thin layer on the pan, make holes through out the roti using finger like picture below.

Now switch on the stove and place the pan on it. Pour little oil around the edges of roti, and a little oil in the holes, cook for few minutes untill light brown spots form on the roti, now flip the roti, cook for a minute and take into a serving plate(flipping is not must, but I will do this).

Just keep that pan under water so that it will cool in few seconds, wipe out the moist, grease with oil and do the same process as first.(We are cooling the pan as we cannot be able to press on the hot pan)

Note:If u are making more rotis you may require 2 or more pans so that time will be saved, as we need to press roti's on pan's simultaneusly we can cook if we use more) also we can use big wide opened vessels to cooks this, we can press all over the vessel so that roti comes out vessel shape, kids will really enjoy such shape.

Serve with plain curd or we can enjoy as it spreading with ghee.

Note: Can be made without chana dal, sesame seeds, onion i.e. you can proceed with simply rice flour also. Can use green chilli paste alone too, it tastes superb with any flavor.

Heat 2 teaspoons of ghee in a kadai, add bombay rava and saute till nice aroma occupies the kitchen and keep it a side.

Take a wide opened bowl, add rava, bread slices, buttermilk, salt, jeera, so as to make idli/dosa consistency batter and keep it a side for 20 minutes.

Heat a non-stick pan, grease it with a little ghee/oil, pour the laddleful of batter and spread like utappa, immedietly add little amount of chopped veggies on utappa and press gently with laddle, so that veggies stick to the utappa.

Pour ghee/oil along the edges of utappa, cook till utappa turns brown in color, then flip the dosa and cook for few minutes.
